That's what my man is doing what he's doing cause he's living in Chicago and he's putting a little bit of fear over here and a little bit over there.

For three years, an Arkansas man with Alabama connections dealt handguns and assault rifles to a felon that told him the weapons would be used by his boss in the streets of Chicago, Ill., federal prosecutors said.

"That's what my man is doing what he's doing cause he's living in Chicago and he's putting a little bit of fear over here and a little bit over there," the felon is quoted as telling Dwayne Meeks, 49, of Little Rock.

Earlier this week, Meeks pleaded guilty in a Chicago federal courthouse to one charge of illegally selling firearms to a felon, court records show. He faces a maximum of 10 years in prison for the crime.

According to court records, Meeks met the felon while working as a correctional officer in a state prison. The felon, who was posing as a gang-banger's liaison, was actually an informant for the FBI, court records show.

Meeks was recorded selling 15 guns to the informant for a total of $34,000, prosecutors said. Exchanged in Chicago and Gadsden in June 2011 and July 2012, the guns included a 2.23 caliber assault rifle, 5.56 caliber assault rifle, a .50 caliber assault rifle, and handguns, court records show.

In January 2013, Meeks told the informant there was a shortage of guns in Alabama following the December 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newton, Conn., according to court records.

"Obama finnin’ to cancel, uh, all the assault stuff [firearms] and their [ammunition] clips," Meeks was recorded as saying. "That’s what he wants, these clips. So everybody buyin’ these clips. So everybody buying every clip they can get. They on backorder, can’t even get ‘em from a company right now.”

Meeks was arrested in May 2013 following a fourth gun sale to the informant, court records show.
